ISTE NETS-S
o Creativity o Communication and collaboration o Research
o Critical thinking, problem-solving, & decision-making o Technology operations and concepts
Instructional objective(s): The students are going to eat a well balanced breakfast for 3 days in the middle of the week. Then they are going to keep track of three important things how they feel energy alertness and concentration.
To uncover the importance of how food affects our energy for alertness and mental focus. Create a voice thread that demonstrates communication and collaboration.
Voice Thread inspires creativity by allowing the students to import pictures from the internet, to draw by hand and up load their own as well as scanning pictures too.
ACTION
Before-class preparation: Request the computer lab for two days (T/TH) a week for the next two weeks from 11:00- 12:00.

MONITOR
Ongoing assessment(s): The students will continue to eat nutritious foods a few days a week and track their energy levels on the days they don’t and do adhere to the program.
They can blog on our class website outside of class time to monitor the creation of the voice thread. Accommodations and extensions: Diverse learners will be able to utilize the tutorial that is audio as well as visual to help create the voice thread anytime to clarify if needed. Backup plan: The students can create a power point instead of a voice thread. The class has learned how to create power points earlier in the semester.
